Capturing moments you wish you could pause a little longer

Southern California Family Lifestyle and Portrait Photographer

Serving families and seniors in the city of San Dimas, Claremont, La Verne and surrounding areas

Hi! I’m Darlene

I’m a family and senior photographer based in Southern California, and I photograph people in a natural, heartfelt way— focusing on connection, genuine emotion, and the little moments you’ll want to remember long after this season has passed.

My sessions are relaxed, with gentle guidance and prompts that will help bring out your personality. My goal is simple: photos that feel like you and help you remember this season a little longer
